O��ifIl. MEETING <br />To: John R. Gerhardscn, Public Works Director IL - a 2 219?9 <br />From: Jack Brinkhaus, Street Foreman CITY Of ORONO <br />Date- February 18, 1988 <br />Subject: Bid Award - Equipment & Materials Bids 1988 <br />The City of Orono advertised for two successive weeks for street <br />materials and equipment rental, with bid opening at 10:00 A.M. <br />Friday, February 12, 1988. <br />The enclosed tabulation contains a complete accounting of all <br />bids received and the recommended low bidders and alternates. <br />The accepted low bids for materials are determined by <br />availability and location of materials. Traveling distance to a <br />supplier is considered a cost factor when determining a low bid. <br />When renting equipment with an operator, we are guided by the <br />type, size of equipment, and an hourly rate. It is possible to <br />award the low bid to more than one contractor when considering <br />materials and equipment. In order to stimulate enthusiasm for <br />the following years work, we make sure to divide the work <br />accordingly among these low bidders. <br />In the event the low i,idder is not available, the City reserves <br />the right to purchase from the next alternate. <br />I recommend that the City Council accept the bids as presented <br />for the calendar year 1988. <br />TO: Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />From: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />Forwarded recommending approval. <br />
